Los Angeles Fire / The fire that started during Biden's era intensified by the time Trump came to power

The massive fire in the forests of Los Angeles is spreading rapidly, due to which more than 50,000 people have been ordered to evacuate the area. 39 square km area has been burnt to ashes. Firefighters are trying to extinguish the fire from the ground and sky, but the situation remains critical.

Los Angeles Fire: The massive fire in the hilly forests north of Los Angeles has now taken a monstrous form. This fire started during the reign of Joe Biden, but it became more horrific by the time of Donald Trump's tenure. On Wednesday, the situation worsened so much that an order had to be issued to immediately evacuate more than 50,000 people. Due to the fire, black smoke has engulfed the surrounding areas and firefighters are working day and night to control the fire.

Fire havoc in the third week

In the third week, this fire has burned more than 39 square kilometers of area. The recreation area near Castaic Lake is completely covered in smoke. This area is only 64 kilometers away from the devastating fire of Eaton and Palisades, where there has already been a lot of destruction.

Instructions to send 50,000 people to safe places

Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna informed that about 53,000 people have been asked to leave their homes immediately. At the same time, fire chief Anthony Marrone said that due to strong winds and dry climate, it is becoming very difficult to control the fire.

Interstate Highway Sealed

Interstate Highway 5 was temporarily closed due to the fire. This highway is the main artery connecting the areas of the north and south. The flames are spreading through the mountain peaks into the forest valleys, due to which the local administration has completely sealed some areas. However, the sheriff has expressed hope that the highway will be reopened soon.

Rescue operation going on from planes and ground

Firefighters are trying to extinguish the fire from both ground and air. Water and chemicals are being dropped on the fire with the help of planes, but due to the intensity of the fire, it has not been brought under control yet. The National Weather Service has warned that the speed of winds can increase from 67 kilometers per hour to 96 kilometers per hour, which is likely to worsen the situation.

Drought and storm: Double challenge

The Southern California region of Los Angeles is in the grip of drought and this has further fueled the fire. After the two recent storms, now another storm with strong winds is expected, which can further intensify the flames.

Fear among local people and challenge of the administration

Local people are leaving their homes and running towards safer places. The administration faces the challenge of controlling the fire as well as providing shelter and essential facilities to the displaced.

Severity of the area affected by the fire

This fire in the forests of Los Angeles highlights our vulnerabilities towards natural disasters and the horrors of climate change. Despite the efforts of the administration and the fire brigade, the terrible form of the fire shows that more effective steps need to be taken to deal with such incidents in future.

Not only is this fire causing huge damage to the environment, but thousands of families are also facing the pain of displacement. It remains to be seen in the coming days how much success the administration achieves in stopping it.
